For The People, produced by Shonda Rhimes, was cancelled after 2 seasons on ABC. The legal drama followed new lawyers, both prosecutors and federal public defenders, as they handle the most high-profile and high-stakes cases and their personal lives intersect.
I was initially drawn to the show by Britt Robertson and Jasmin Savoy Brown, who had impressed in previous works, but Susannah Flood stole the show. I look forward to what she may be up to next.
Trying to follow up on the success of The Vampire Diaries, the CW turned to another series of young adult novels in order to find a companion series. The Secret Circle returned Britt Robertson to the netlet as a young witch who learns of her true heritage following the death of her mother.
While the show wasn’t really bad, it was never really good and there were some episodes where it threatened to go off the rails. Unfortunately, it wasn’t good enough to stay on the air.
CBS
Big Bang Theory – The nerds return for more fun.
How To Be A Gentleman – This looks to be horrible. I doubt it lasts through November sweeps.
Person Of Interst – Michael Emerson’s first post-Lost series. That alone is enough of a reason to give this a chance.
The Mentalist – Based on the premiere, it will be more of the same from The Mentalist. It’s a good enough show, but I can see it burning out quickly if they don’t shake things up sometime soon.
NBC
Community – Back for a surprising third season. John Goodman has joined in a recurring role, and, so far, looks to have brought his A-game.
